🐙🌊 Meet Coco, the octopus created from over 2,000 pieces of ocean plastic waste! This incredible sculpture was inspired by the curious and intelligent octopus featured in the Indian episode of Our Oceans, who has made a home on a trash-littered ocean floor.

By this point I'm usually pretty blasé about the weirdness of the deep sea but CHECK THIS OUT!!!

It's time for the penguin weigh-in! 🐧

These three macaroni penguins from the 'Little Mac' colony on Bird Island near Antarctica are off to forage at sea to feed their new chicks.

We use an automated weighbridge to monitor their weight and foraging patterns! 🪶

THE SOUND OF THEIR LITTLE FEET 😭

Shifting baseline syndrome explains how we normalise the continual visceration of once unimaginably rich ecosystems.

Rewilding – our minds, lands, and seas – is the solution. 🌏

Hi Bluesky! 🌊

Deep sea mining plans blocked in Norway 🇳🇴🚫

Environmental groups described the news as a “historic win” for ocean protection.

Oslo had planned to let companies apply to mine 280,000 sq km (108,000 sq miles) of its waters, an area greater than the UK, for deep-sea minerals.

Amazing! Giant bluefin tuna seen chasing mackerel off Devon coast.

Protect the ocean, so it can protect us 🌊 Almost 200,000 of you used your voices to stand up for the oceans and ask for an end to bottom trawling within marine protected areas . I had the joy of ensuring your voices were heard, delivering this petition box to DEFRA 🌊💙🦑🪸

So glad you enjoyed it that cuttlefish sequence is one of my favourites so incredible!

Great white shark with a large tumor

I don't know who needs to hear this, but sharks absolutely get cancer.

Even if sharks didn't get cancer, eating shark wouldn't cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

Our Oceans review – Barack Obama’s nature show might be the most beautiful thing you see all year Yes, the ex-president’s soothing voice was made to narrate this gorgeous wildlife programme. But the absolutely majestic visuals are the real star

‘It deals in the sort of awestruck majesty James Cameron was aiming for with the last Avatar film, only this is real.’ ‘This is an advocacy series in disguise – and a necessary one’- The Guardian
